We provide everything you will need including
breakfast, lunch and free tea and coffee all day. You may already
own kit in which case you are welcome to bring it along but note,
the emphasis is on developing the archery skills needed to shoot
at any target at any distance with any bow, so- sights, rods,
stabilisers, scopes clickers, pins, rubber bands, kissers and
release aids are not permitted, neither are compounds or
crossbows.
Learn when to stand and when and why to crouch, how to crouch and
maintain a stable shooting platform. Learn how elevation changes
the shot and how to never miss those little pesky targets that
gloat from 5 yards as your arrow sails over the top or the long
range targets you know you'll miss before you even shoot. Learn
how your arrow choice affects the shot and why you should always
have a quiver of different size and weight arrows. All about spine
of arrows, how to change it and why. Once you have been taught all
these techniques you will be shown how to decide which arrow,
draw, stance and loose technique to use.
If you already shoot you will have noticed that some archers do
consistently well in certain disciplines, they know something you
don't-- and they ain't talkin'. Until now, there have been few
archers prepared or skilled enough to share what knowledge they
have, Until now you could have paid £60 for an hour of
instruction. But now there is Masterclass, and the £60 is not for
an hour but a whole day and breakfast and lunch!!
I would like to thank you for a very enjoyable and instructive day
at your "Masterclass" on 2nd September this year. I have been
shooting for about ten years but had never had any formal
training, basically self
taught as most archers seem to be. It helped me to focus on
techniques that I had heard of before but no one had ever shown me
how.
Still with this fresh in my mind, the following Sunday at our open
club shoot I managed to win my class (H/T) and also achieved the
second highest score out of all classes. Sadly the lack of
practicing those techniques has seen me slip back to my usual
scores! I still believe it is not the winning but the taking part
that counts, but I confess to a rather smug feeling when
collecting my trophy!

Come to the experts, our instructors between them have held
WFAA Barebow champion ( International) Longbow Kent indoor championship (3 times), Longbow Kent outdoor
championship (2 times), Southern Counties Longbow indoors (3
times), Longbow field championship, American Flatbow championship,
records for field and target in both longbow and flatbow, First
Lord (loads), Surrey County championship, Agincourt champion 2000
(international) British Barebow 3d, and a whole host of other
titles, they could muster several tonnes of silverware between
them (almost).
So when it comes to Barebows we know what we are talking about!!
Any questions mail me. For those prepared to travel we have
special rates for a number of hotels and b&b's in the area.
Dear Steve,
What a truly brilliant day, thank you!
Your master class has opened up for us a whole new side to
archery, one which exorcises the reliance upon wheels, sights,
stabilisers and all those other gadgets and gizmos by bringing it
back to you, the archer. Scary stuff – remind me, how the heck
does it work… ?
An extremely well run day, thoroughly
enjoyable, instructive and enlightening. We’re looking forward to
turning up to our first 3D shoot where we aren’t accused of being
the ‘twiddlers’ – that’ll freak them out
Many thanks also to Big Jim for his excellent support and guidance
and to Caroline for looking after us so well with the food and
refreshments; a cut above!
Here’s to the next time.

PS
thanks to Giles for his persistence in finally getting us there -
nice one!

hi Steve
just to let you know that things have moved on apace since we
attended your master class. whilst Kim is progressing well in the
club and scores
improving nicely I have been shooting field events almost
exclusively to the point where I have now been selected to shoot
for Essex, something I am
still having trouble coming to terms with.
Once again many thanks for all your hints and tips maybe I could
come and help out in future events and give back some of what I
have gained from you.
cheers

You will be shown the methods to shoot barebow Recurves, Longbows,
Flatbows and Scythian bows, we have a formidable armoury with bows
of all draw weights from 12LBS up to 130LBS.
Our instructors will show you how to use point of aim to group
arrows where you want them, you will learn how to effectively gap
shoot and how to estimate distances, the secrets of canting the
bow along with split vision techniques and how to turn method in
to a usable instinctive technique will be explained. Learn new
draw techniques, anchor techniques, finger position techniques,
string walking and face walking, why to do it and when.
I can't thank you enough for
Friday because apart from a magic day out with you I shot
our open Windsor competition full of confidence yesterday and
increased last year's score in the rain by 40% with 81 hits, 4
non scoring, on the boss - well pleased and even remembered the
3 secs after every shot (thought you'd like that) I came second
in the competition, it was so nice to be shooting again after being at rock
bottom for so long, you certainly kicked MY arse where it was
needed!
I gave out your
leaflets to our keen field archers and told them they can't
afford to miss out. They were impressed with the change in me so
I was probably a good advert for you. I'm also pleased you tried
my bow out as your arrow info is timely, I'm just about to make
a new set so we'll see how it goes.
All the best,
Ron
Maximum Pupil/Instructor ratio is 4 to 1 and you will shoot more
arrows in a day than you ever shot before, the day is packed with
all the information to become the archer you want to be. You will
have the chance to practice all the techniques on a huge selection
of 3ds' and other inventive and impressive targets at varying
distances.
Learn the tricks that other archers don't want you to know.
Hi Steve,
Thanks for a superb Masterclass shooting day. Great company, good
food and top location. 'Field' is clearly where I am destined, 3D
turkeys watch out!!!!The coaching skills and enthusiasm were such
a pleasure to see, it is clear that you have a passion for all
things of the bow and this made
the day so enjoyable. I intend to pick-up where we left off today
and the club shoot on Sunday will see me back in the 'zone'! (not
certain whether we have any plastic animals to hunt at the
moment...will have to lean on the treasurer...)
Kind Regards
Matt the Older...
Whether you are a novice archer or have never held a bow before,
but always fancied having a go or even if you are an experienced
archer and always wonder how the other guy hits so many of his
shots. (you might even be the other guy who wants to stay in
front). We will explode the myths and you will see the results
yourself.
One thing is certain, you will leave a better archer than you
arrived.
Hi Steve, Jim, Becky, Caroline
Thanks for a really great day on Fridays masterclass we both
learnt so much. To prove the point Kev shot a western at
Colchester on Sunday, scored 413 and beat everybody by a country
mile – all thanks to your expert tuition.
Thanks again Kevin and Kim |
